<div class="IPBDescription"> - in the works</div> Ok boys and Girls, after a few weeks of bad-dreams, i've decided to start organizing for a "MODEL MAKING COMPETITION"


i plan to lead you into many many more of these competitions, but this will be the first, and by far, the most lamely organized.

here's how it will work:

- One Gun
- One modeler (please no joint-ventures)

- Three ( count 'em 3 ) Weeks to finish the model (from post of image/link)
- Three awards
- Lowest Poly while retaining shape
- Highest Detail
- Best "Overall"


--Modelers Signed up To Date--
Burncycle
Jim
.[ArsoN].
Lazer
Mr.Headcrab
Darrkiz
*PowerLines friend

--Skinners Signed up To Date--
Coolcookiecooks
Powerline
Chackle
darrkiz

--Judges Signed up To Date--
Radiance
nthngnsd
Delarosa
Maus

-- we don't need any more judges and we need our judges to be around for the IRC talking we do --

the goal is to have the gun in-game in less than two months... i've been having dreams of holding these types of conpetitions for a while...

If the guns do not make it in game, they will be hosted by either T2K or Burncycle's web page... (shhh, no telling)


other than that, we are looking for more modelers (infinate amounts) and skinners (infinate amounts)

reply here if you wish to be a part of the competition... the judges should get togther to talk, to decide on a gun. once you get it hammered out, post it up here, and PM me so i can edit this post with the current information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ok talked to coil, and he gave me a word or two... this is why we talk about this on IRC.... so we can get instant feedback.

modeling contest... first, and then a skinning contest... just to give people a chance to be on both sides of it.


but yeah, still gunna do a model contest, and then a skin teh model contest... just to releave the pressure on some of the skinners...

    Re-read the first post; the rules have changed slightly.

    There will be a modeling contest, followed by a skinning contest for the winning model.

    I can skin but not mesh
  • nthngnsdnthngnsd Join Date: 2003-07-26 Member: 18442Members
    skinmeshing usually is the modeler's task, so i'd suggest only modelers that unwrap their models themselves may join the contest in order to not having douzens of usless models

    There are lots who <i>want</i> to judge. I'd imagine that only a few are actually chosen though. I'm torn at the moment between wanting to have a go at modelling or being a lazy SOB and just judging instead.

    --

    Question: How would it work - would it be freeform, with people asked simply to make a gun, or will there be tighter guidelines (make a pistol, for example)?

    I'm in. I'm not really able to make the best skinmesh ever, but I can try. Is this just a "model any gun you feel like" or is there gonna be a set gun to try and model. I think it would be a lot better of a contest if we had a certain gun to make. Otherwise it can turn into what gun looks better than the other, not what model looks better.

    I'd love to take the job of a judge.

    I understand how a lot of it works and the such...so ya.
  • DelarosaDelarosa Naturally Custom Join Date: 2002-11-29 Member: 10214Members, NS1 Playtester
    ok, the judge jobs are full... we've got them, we need more people to sign up to skin...


    Radiance will post up a nice link to information on the gun, and a few images of the gun.



    it is an extra bonus if the gun is meshed... but not required... i'm thinking of making it required... but i'm not sure.


    ok, i'ma go install all my nice little programs again... stoopid system crash
  • ChackleChackle Join Date: 2003-01-24 Member: 12672Members
    I suppose i can skin.... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • nthngnsdnthngnsd Join Date: 2003-07-26 Member: 18442Members
    we should make unwrapping required but independent on the model's rating
